Scavenger Hunt #4


This dandelion is an example of a C3 Plant. A C3 plant contains 3 carbon atoms before entering into the Calvin Cycle of photosynthesis. Such as a dandelion.


Such as C3 plants, C4 plants have 4 carbon atoms before entering the Calvin Cycle of photosynthesis. Corn is an example of C4 plants.


Crassulacean acid metabolism stand for CAM and a plant utilizes this metabolism as an adaptation for dry conditions. During the night, when the carbon dioxide enters the stomata it is converted into organic acids. During the day when the stomata is closed, the carbon dioxide is released from the Calvin cycle. Plants that do not need a lot of water are classified as CAM plants, so for my example I used a cactus.


Where my thumb is located is an example of the chloroplast in a leaf. The Calvin cycle occurs in the stoma and the chloroplast of a plant. Calvin cycle is series of reactions during photosynthesis that produces glucose from carbon dioxide.


Yes this is a picture of my nose, which is an example of connective tissue. My nose connects, supports, and surrounds other tissues and organs. The cartilage of my nose supports the nasal cavity which classifies it as connective tissue.
